What Causes Chronic Constipation And Nausea?

My 17 year old son has been constipated and nauseous for the last couple of weeks. He has been tired as well. He just developed a fever, that is off and on 3 days ago with enlarged lymph nodes in his neck and behind his ears. He has autoimmune hypothyroditis (which is controlled and TSH at a stable level) along with an autoimmune skin disease called vitiligo that started 6 months ago. He has also had a weight loss of 8 lbs in the last 2 months.
